Yield: 5 servings

3 medium-large zucchini squash, halved lengthwise and sliced about 3/8-inch thick (to make 4 cups)
1 medium yellow onion, sliced into 1/2-inch thick wedges
3 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil, drained (reserve the oil)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1.  Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

2. Coat a 9-by-13-inch pan with cooking spray and add the zucchini and onions. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of oil from the sun-dried tomatoes. Sprinkle with the basil, salt, and pepper and toss to mix.

3.  Bake uncovered for 10 minutes. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes more, or until tender and nicely browned. Serve hot.
